Kingscliff Coastline | Ocean, Surf & Sundown at Cudgen Headland #tourism...

Image
Nestled on Australia’s northeast coast just south of the Queensland border, Cudgen Headland and the neighbouring South Beach at Kingscliff deliver both sweeping ocean views and laid-back beach vibes. From the headland you’ll find a dramatic vantage point overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with waves crashing against the rocky point and the beach stretching out in soft gold sand. The nearby South Beach offers a quieter stretch of coastline — ideal for long walks, relaxed swims, or simply breathing in the fresh sea breeze.   Whether you’re an early-morning walker getting the first light on the water, a surfer chasing the right-hand swell off the point, or a family seeking a serene beach spot, this area has something special.   Visiting is straightforward. Park near the surf club or car-parks at the headland, clip on your hat and sunscreen, and stroll the short path to the lookout or down to the sand. South Beach’s wide sandbank invites barefoot ambles while the headland deli...

Byron Solar Train | Ride the World’s First Solar-Powered Train #tourisma...

Image
The Byron Solar Train is a charming and innovative experience that combines heritage rail charm with clean-energy innovation. Departing from the heart of Byron Bay to the North Beach precinct, this short 3 km journey takes around 10 minutes one way (and about 25 minutes for a return trip). You’ll ride in an immaculately restored two-carriage train originally built in 1949, offering vintage style with leather seats, open windows, and even a driver’s cab you can look into.   What makes this train truly special is its sustainability. It’s powered by solar energy harvested from panels on the train and its storage shed, using battery banks and regenerative braking to capture energy when slowing down. On sunny days the system generates enough power not only for the train but also to feed into the local grid. While you glide past coastal rainforest, wetlands and the Belongil Creek estuary, you’re also riding arguably one of the most eco-friendly passenger trains in the world.  ...
